Are millennials just bad at making games?
It's their generation in charge now and all the games are trash.
Nintendo, Playstation, Xbox...
They've all fallen.
There is no new Final Fantasy X, Zelda OoT, Halo.
Everything is shit now.
I hate the future.

Are there any good games still left to make?

What is the actual limit of viable products you can make that fit both the technical criteria of being a video game and also providing (on average) enough pleasure to compel play?

You're blaming the leftist shit on being "Mostly Boomers and Gen X" retard. You're trying to pull the "It's only a loud minority of us" bullshit that leftists pull all the time.

It's not a generational problem but a corporate greed one.

Most game publishers are (or became in the last years) publicly traded. This means their shareholders will generally only care about maximizing the company's short term profits over everything else because they can sell their shares at the (perceived) peak of their price and buy shares of something else.
Furthermore, the biggest shareholders choose the CEOs, and the CEOs are LEGALLY OBLIGATED to pursue what the shareholders want (maximizing short term profits over long term sustainability, which means selling to an endlessly expanding "broader audience"), so what they produce tends to get worse.

Why? Because in order to get a broader audience you have to change your products so that they're DIFFERENT than before. And the people who didn't care about a franchise before typically didn't get into it because they didn't like what it offered at the time.
Thus things tend to get worse for their original audiences.

P.S.
>There is no new Final Fantasy X, Zelda OoT, Halo
Sakaguchi left Squaresoft because he wanted to expand FF's audience to moviefags with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (which was a commercial disaster and forced the company to fuse with Enix). Then SE tried many things with the franchise and most failed.
Nintendo fucked up by abandoning regular gamers in favor of casuals around the early to mid 00s and catering to the latter almost exclusively ever since. Even their new games which are good suffer from severe casualization.
Microsoft changed Halo's development team and the result was worse (and to make things worse the original dev company, Bungie, also went to shit).
If they were content keeping their past audience this wouldn't have happened.

My grandparents did this, my boomer parents did this, my gen X and millenial siblings have done this and my gen Z nieces and nephews have done this. The alphalets are going to go through this same phase. Always blaming those in the past, absolving themselves of present (in)action and shoving responsibility of the future forward to the next. All get upset when their generations flaws are pointed out.

As for media, they all think media and hobbies went to shit after their childhood with the exception of their niche or already casual hobbies. The problem is always shareholders profit lust.

i worked on my first game doing environment art in highschool
it was contract work, so i never went to an office, but work nonetheless, and got a position right after graduation
it's not even that weird, art skill is more about effort and passion than lengthy experience, and 3d game artists were in short supply until the early 2010s

A counter example: Valve is a privately owned company so its owners care about its future and thus Steam didn't get enshittified and therefore continues to be the king of PC gaming digital stores.
Another one: indie games made by truly passionate developers typically don't lower or dillute their quality.

The problem is greed. Even if millennials are worse, the gen X developers are still around and available. Companies COULD hire the latter and order them to make games like they have in the past. It's just they don't want to.

The entire videogame industry is dead and it's because people only want to spend money on f2p game cosmetics. People only spend $60+ on a game if it's from a very well known franchise, and even those kinds of games are dying. If people spent money on games, and games that weren't just call of duty, fortnite, gacha and mobile games, then we'd have more games to play. But goyslop peddlers won the videogame war.

>Private company does not equal to good company
True. But a publicly traded company will in most cases turn worse/more anti-consumer with time.

>You can't find human kindness in capitalism.
All companies (unless stated otherwise) want to make money. That's not the problem, the problem is the lowering of the quality of their products.

All of these are pointless details because at the end of the day everything is owned by private entities who don't answer to anything but to each other.

If Valve is as free as steam drones claim then that makes them look even worse than public companies because Valve willingly engages in anti consumer and competitive practices which we listed countless times, all in the name of greed™, the shining American idealism that the greatest human endeavor is to conspire to rip people off of all their shekels.

If I was wrong about Valve they would have made dozens of games instead of sitting on their asses collecting 30% and running casinos for underages. Good grief.

Gen Z is looking to be the gayest generation so far. Even if some of us make it, we’ll still just be seen as the lame precursors to Gen Alpha.
>>
>>737258676
That "massively" implies retro by the 15 year rule, but that's a different can of autism. It's entirely believable, as they will avoid the things people dislike that come with the "full maturity" of the gaming industry (or any form of media really) whilst having plenty of accessible surface level titles that they never played.

The autists of these generations will slide down the gaming gens just like the ones before them anyway and the 22 year old omegoid will argue with some gen z gramps over a mainframe game released in 1974. As it should be.
>>
>>737259335
I never said Valve was a good company or without its vices (e.g. allowing microtransactions and gacha bullshit), but compared to the rest it's one of the best.

You could argue GOG is more consumer friendly than Steam because of its lack of DRM, but GOG came late to the party and didn't implement some of the aspects of Steam (i.e. the social functions) that made it hugely popular.
In simpler terms: Most people prefer to buy their PC games on Steam because it has a massive catalogue of games and the service is decent, plus all or most of their friends already use it.
>>
>>737259904
>and didn't implement some of the aspects of Steam (i.e. the social functions) back then
Fixed.
>>
>>737259904
>>737260002
P.S. I recommend using GOG too. Not just because of the lack of DRM but because it has some games that aren't available on Steam. And also because Gabe Newell will eventually retire (there's no guarantee his successor won't fuck things up), and I want Steam to still have a competitor like GOG when it happens.
>>
>>737260648
P.S. 2And I recommend using Steam because a lot of games are there (and not on GOG) and it's a way to economically support the developers of the games you like.
